About Abbie
LCSW licensed in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience, Abbie Hancock focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. She uses a mix of practical therapies to help people get unstuck and manage overwhelming feelings. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused.
Abbie frames work around what a person needs now. She leans on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take small meaningful steps. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used where emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
Her style follows client-centered practice, which means listening closely and adapting what happens in a session to the individual. She also draws on existential ideas when people are wrestling with life purpose or meaning. The approach is practical rather than purely theoretical.
Abbie has helped people address problems such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, compulsive behaviors, and isolation. She also works with issues like body image, guilt and shame, abandonment concerns, and communication difficulties. Sessions focus on real-life skills and steps that can be tried between meetings.
Therapy costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and she is based in Texas. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules an initial session.

How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to set goals and plan practical next steps for everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that keep problems going and testing new behaviors. In virtual meetings, CBT often includes thought records, behavior experiments, and homework that can be reviewed between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating intense emotions and tolerating distress. Online sessions can introduce brief skills practice, grounding techniques, and step-by-step plans for handling high-emotion moments. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may shift over time as priorities change. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, for instance by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering a way to meet without rearranging a full day. Ask about the session lengths and modalities offered so you can plan what suits your schedule.Sheet 3
